Prof. Jeong Yeon-ho received the 19th Busan Science and Technology Award
He won 10 million won of cash prize for engineering section ... Recognized for the achievement of LED wireless communication technology development.

Professor Jeong Yeon-ho (Dept. of Information and Communications Engineering) Pukyong National University, has been selected as the 19th winner of the Busan Science and Technology Award.

The 'Busan Science and Technology Award' has awarded annually since 2002 by the Busan Metropolitan City and the Federation of Busan Science and Technology (FOBST) to raise incentive to research by local science and technology personnel. The cash prize for engineering is 10 million won.

Professor Jeong has been recognized for his outstanding research on LED wireless communication technology for indoor lighting, and developed the world's first motion recognition function in optical camera communication using a smartphone camera, and established the concept of performing triple functions (lighting, communication, and operation) in one transmission system.

Professor Jeong is working on research in the field of wireless communication at the Transferring ‧ Optical Transmission System Lab at Pukyong National University and develops indoor smart home device control technology that combines next-generation indoor wireless communication technology, LED-based optical camera communication (OCC) and technology for smartphone motion recognition.

"Recently, we are focusing on research on optical wireless communication using 'light' based on visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet light, and through this, we intend to develop a new social-reduction technology that is easy to commercialize in the future," Professor Jeong added, "Through this, we will achieve our second dream by developing new optical and wireless communication technologies for underwater, drone and wireless power transmission applications," he stated his feelings about having received the award.

Meanwhile, the 19th Busan Science and Technology Awards Ceremony was postponed due to Corona19, so it will be held as part of the upcoming 19th Busan Science Festival event in November. <Pukyong Today>
